Would that date keep you from attending Epi?
It's just the first proposal. If it needs to change, it can be. We need to lock down a date that a majority could do.
Exactly. We're just floating dates for now. Just keep in mind a few things when you propose a date - the weather, and where the moon will be that night(s). Full Moon dates, or anywhere near them is straight out. The closer to the new moon, the better. Also, keep in mind that members' night is always the first Saturday of the month, so that is out as well. Here is a list of moon phases and the dates associated with them for the rest of 2011 and 2012.

"In short, Meyer has shown that his first disastrous book was not a fluke: he is capable of going into any field in which he has no training or research experience and botching it just as badly as he did molecular biology. As I've written before, if you are a complete amateur and don't understand a subject, don't demonstrate the Dunning-Kruger effect by writing a book about it and proving your ignorance to everyone else!
